PREFACE

Dear Distinguished Delegates and Guests,

The Organizing Committee warmly welcomes our distinguished delegates and guests to
the 3th edition of the IEEE/IACSIT International Conference on Biomechanics,
Neurorehabilitation, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing systems, Robotics and
Aerospace (ICMERA 2012), held on October 26-28, 2012 in Ramada- Majestic Hotel,
Bucharest, ROMANIA (www.icmera.com ).

The IEEE/IACSIT ICMERA2012 International Conference is organized by University
POLITEHNICA of Bucharest in collaboration with University ELIAS Urgency Hospital,
University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila”, Institute of Solid Mechanics of
Romanian Academy, Pro Optica SA Bucharest, Romanian Academy of Scientists,
INCDMTM Bucharest, “Henri Coanda”Air Force Academy, Military Equipment and
Technologies Research Agency, Land Forces Academy and University International
Association for Science and Technology of Romania under the higher tutelage of the
Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences- Section II- Mechanical Branch and sponsored
by International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology (IACSIT)
of Singapore.

The main objective of the conference is to bring together leading researchers, engineers
and scientists in the fields of interest from Romania and from around the world in order to:
provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial
professionals to present their latest experiences and developments activities in the field of:
Biomechanics, Biomechatronics, Neurorehabilitation, Mechanical Engineering,
Manufacturing Systems, Robotics, Aerospace in Medical, Civil and Military fields;
provide opportunities for attendees to exchange new ideas and application experiences
face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for
future collaboration.

The conference has solicited and gathered technical research submissions related to all
aspects of major conference themes and tracks. All the submitted papers in the proceeding
have been peer reviewed by the reviewers drawn from the scientific committee, external
reviewers and editorial board depending on the subject matter of the paper.

The Proceedings contents the invited papers from around the world recognition specialists
in these fields and following sessions: Invited papers, Biomechanics and
Neurorehabilitation, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Systems, Robotics and
Aerospace.
We are grateful to all those who have contributed to the success of the 3th edition of
IEEE/IACSIT ICMERA2012 International Conference. We hope that all participants and
other interested readers benefit scientifically from the proceedings and also find it
stimulating in the process. Finally, I believe in a complete success of the 3th edition of the
conference.

IN GOD WE TRUST!
GOOD LUCK!

With best regards,
